Not a happy camper! I finally get around to playing some Gears of War 3, and when I exited the game, our Xbox 360 red rings. It didn't even get back to the dashboard. Boom, it struck in mid-exit! Going to let it cool down a bit, so hopefully it was just a hiccup. We had just finished playing LEGO Star Wars III: Clone Wars, so I guess the Force was not with us anymore ....
The weekend hasn't even begun yet, and it's already looking busy with a haircut, a beer festival and a museum trip. There had better be some time in there to just lie on the couch and eat potato chips, damn it!
On a side note, war is still raging in Stronghold Kingdoms. I've moved my villages to the front line and named it AngelOfDeath. Yeah, I'm sure the enemy is quaking in their boots now!

There's been a lot of talk about corporate license agreements lately with both Sony and EA updating their Terms of Service to require arbitration to resolve disputes and prohibit class action lawsuits, but there's another gem buried within the EA/Origin Terms of Service -- the company reserves the right to revoke all your games if you cheat or tell others how to cheat.

What's the deal with companies all of a sudden adding a "you can't sue us" clause in their user agreements? Pretty soon, no matter what they sell you — whether or not it's functional, hazardous or illegal — they'll add something in the EULA that safeguards them from any harm. Doesn't really sound right to me. You make something, so you're responsible for it. If it craps out on your watch, well, you should have made it functional in the first place. The next thing you know, we'll be buying cars that fall apart and the manufacturer will make us download a patch to get it running again.
Aside from the legal mumbo jumbo, TV season is in full swing and unfortunately, we've picked up a few new series to test run, like 2 Broke Girls, Person of Interest and, of course,
Terra Nova.
